We would like to share with you the story and successful treatment of our 71-year-old patient who visited us from the Republic of Bulgaria.
By contacting our International Patients department, Mrs. Tonka Boeva shared with us her complaints of severe pain in the back and lower back area. After analyzing the previous investigations sent by our patient, she was invited for a physical examination and new investigations to evaluate her current condition.
Upon her arrival, our patient was examined by our Neurosurgery Specialist Dr. Abdullah TEMIZKAN. After a detailed physical examination and analysis of the new radiological investigations performed (MRI and Computed Tomography), the presence of several osteoporotic fractures in the thoracic and lumbar sections of the spine was identified. Due to these fractures, the patient had assumed a kyphotic (hunched) posture.
Based on the patient age, existing chronic diseases, and current health condition, the Vertebroplasty procedure was proposed. The surgical intervention was performed the following day by our neurosurgeon Dr. Abdullah TEMIZKAN. In order to correct the acquired kyphotic posture (hunching), during the surgical intervention (with the help of a kyphoplasty balloon) the bones were restored to their normal position and height.
During the intervention, Dr. Abdullah TEMIZKAN, under fluoroscopic guidance, performed precise filling of the existing fractures and collapses by injecting a substance called bone cement. After two days of postoperative monitoring, our patient was discharged from the hospital in good health condition and with satisfaction from the achieved relief. She expressed her sincere gratitude to Dr. Abdullah TEMIZKAN and the entire team for their professionalism and the care they provided.
The entire team of Corlu Vatan Private Hospital would like to express our most sincere wishes for a successful recovery for our patient. We wish her a speedy recovery and much health going forward!
